Seeing the emperor's bulging veins on his forehead, Li Dequan quietly moved away from them.

Granny Su and Cha Su followed him half a step slower, afraid that Bei Bei would turn around and ask them those questions.

When they finally arrived at the Cining Palace, Bayalige became well-behaved, hiding her little hands in her sleeves and refusing to let Kangxi hold her hand.

"Bayalig greets Emperor Dama!"

He bowed respectfully to Bumbutai, showing no trace of his earlier boisterousness.

"Get up, get up quickly."

When the Empress Dowager received the news that Kangxi was walking towards Cining Palace with Beibei, she was quite pleased.

The older people get, the more they enjoy watching younger generations and having fun.

And so, looking at his well-behaved great-granddaughter, he couldn't stop smiling.

"Thank you, Emperor Dama!"

After standing up, she walked to Kangxi's side and stood obediently without saying or making any unnecessary movements. Kangxi couldn't help but think to himself that she was really good at acting.

"Grandmother, I have come today because I have some good news to tell you."

Seeing the smile on Kangxi's face, his eyes lit up instantly.

I wanted to ask if she was feeling better, but with Beibei here, it wasn't appropriate to ask.

He held back the words that were about to come out, waiting for Kangxi to continue.

Seeing Bumbutai's hesitant expression, she felt that being tormented by Beibei wasn't so bad after all.

"Grandmother, the Empress is pregnant. She is less than three months along and the pregnancy is stable."

Bumbutai's eyes widened in surprise. He had thought that his health had improved, but he hadn't expected that he was pregnant.

"Very well, the palace really needs some more people."

After saying that, she turned to look at Su Ma La Gu standing to the side: "Su Ma, go to the storeroom and find all my nourishing medicinal herbs, organize them and send them to Qingxi Palace."

This is a joyous occasion, and she naturally wants to express her gratitude.

Although her relationship with Harigana remained lukewarm, she was carrying Xuan Ye's child.

After the initial joy, I became a little worried, and the smile on my face faded somewhat.

When the crown prince was being chosen, she thought the emperor's health was failing, so she didn't object.

But now that Harigana has another child, will it affect Yinfu's position as crown prince?

It's true that she initially wanted to get rid of the twins, but after spending time with them these past few days, she had already grown fond of them.

The child is outstanding; if he is well-mannered, he could be even more outstanding than Emperor Kangxi.

Because of her liking and admiration for him, she was somewhat worried that Yin Fu's position might be threatened.

"Xuan Ye, how is Xiao Jiu doing lately? You must not neglect Xiao Jiu's studies because of her pregnancy."

After establishing the crown prince, Bumbutai also asked Sumalagu to invite Kangxi over, intending to have her stay with him for some time.

As a result, Kangxi said he wanted to stay by himself and teach him personally.

Now that she has said this, the emperor should understand her thoughts.

Emperor Kangxi understood perfectly.

I thought Bumbutai's smile had faded and she was about to cause trouble again, but it turned out it was because of Yinfu.

"Grandmother, rest assured, Yinfu has always been with me and will not neglect his studies."

No one spoke clearly, but every sentence expressed their own stance.

Beibei had just learned that Harigana was pregnant, and her eyes lit up. If they weren't in the Cining Palace, she would have already grabbed Kangxi's arm and asked if it was a younger brother or sister.

However, she was still very happy because, starting today, she was no longer the youngest.

Suppressing her curiosity and excitement, she listened to Kangxi and Bumbutai chat until a quarter of an hour later before leaving Cining Palace.

"Father, I'm going to be the older sister now, right?"

Once she was sure there were no outsiders behind her, Beibei tugged at Kangxi's sleeve and whispered a question.

Looking down at her small face, just like Harigana's, my heart melted.

Especially her eyes, which were bright and sparkling, showing that she was truly happy.

She crouched down and looked at Bayalig: "Yes, from now on Beibei will be the older sister. Do you like unborn little brothers or sisters?"

Once she knew she wanted to be a big sister, Beibei nodded quickly: "I love it! Father, you and Mother, have more children!"

Her obedience lasted only a moment. She was just as dignified as an adult in the Cining Palace, but now that there were no outsiders around, she spoke without any restraint.

Kangxi's face froze for a moment. He took a deep breath and thought many times that the child was his own flesh and blood, and he couldn't scold him.

"Don't let your mother hold you anymore, and don't bump into her suddenly. Your mother is pregnant with your little brother and sister now, so she can't be bumped."

He stood up, didn't answer her question, said a few words, and then led her back.

Beibei was still immersed in the joy of becoming a big sister, so she had no mind to coax Kangxi.

However, Li Dequan and Granny Su, who were following behind the two, were suppressing their laughter.

Especially Li Dequan, who knew how much the Emperor and Empress loved each other and that the Empress was pregnant, didn't need to prepare anything.

If they really had more children, not to mention whether the Empress would suffer, the Emperor might go crazy.

Kangxi had no idea that Li Dequan, who was just a few steps away, was mocking him countless times in his heart. If he had known, he would have beaten him to death with sticks.

Upon returning to Qingxi Palace, she bumped right into Yin Fu, who was rushing back after class.

"The son greets his father."

Beibei also bowed respectfully to Yinfu. Now that her brother was the crown prince, they could get along however they wanted in private, but they were at the palace gate, and she couldn't let anyone find fault with her.

Of course, these were not things she could have thought of herself; they were taught to her by Granny Su. She was obedient and, after asking Harigana, confirmed that Granny Su's teaching was correct, and she learned them quite well.

"Get up."

Kangxi looked at his youngest son and reached out to pat his head: "Go inside first, it's cold outside."

"elder brother!"

As they entered the Qingxi Palace, Beibei's true nature was revealed. She walked up to Yinfu and whispered a few words to him, then looked at him triumphantly with a look that said, "I want to know," which was quite adorable.

"real?"

Yinfu was quite happy; how could he not be happy to have a younger brother or sister?

But her joy lasted only a short while. Remembering what the Empress Dowager had said, she frowned and caught up with Kangxi, who was walking ahead: "Father, can Mother's body withstand it?"

The Empress Dowager had told them before how difficult it was for Harigana to give birth to the twins. Beibei may not have remembered, but the baby always did.

He even secretly asked Granny Hu about the situation later, and when he learned what had happened, he became even more worried.

"Mother is fine. Just don't bother her in the future. Don't worry."

Kangxi was very pleased. No matter how profound his studies were, or how capable and talented he was, he was able to think of his mother's health in such a short time. Not to mention that he was a three-year-old child, most people would not have thought of it so immediately.

"Don't worry, Father, I will look after my sister."
